From: Lukasz Luba <lukasz.luba@arm.com> Since the 'capacities-dmips-mhz' are present in the CPU nodes, make use of this knowledge in smarter decisions during scheduling. The values in 'capacities-dmips-mhz' are normilized, this means that i.e. when CPU0's capacities-dmips-mhz=100 and CPU1's 'capacities-dmips-mhz'=50, cpu0 is twice fast as CPU1, at the same frequency. The proper hirarchy in sched_domain topology could exploit the SoC architecture advantages like big.LITTLE.
I do not quite get how this is related to rationale behind changing defconfig...
Enabling the SCHED_MC will create two levels in sched_domain hierarchy, which might be observed in:
This is looks more convincing... but still what is the need? To work with EAS?
